Cavendish was the target of a religious battle-of-the-books initiated by the Catholic writer, Susan Du Verger, and Cavendish mentions the controversy with Du Verger in her Philosophical Letters. Du Verger’s polemic is also available as an original She-philosopher.​com e-publication. See the digital edition, Lib. Cat. No. SDUV1657.

Under Construction

S O R R Y, but this e-publication page— with an HTML transcript of 8 letters from Margaret Cavendish’s CCXI Sociable Letters (1664), ridiculing religious rhetoric after the English civil war, especially as practiced by women and the laity — is still under construction.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope that you will return to check on its progress another time.
